Shari Simpson, MBA, MHRM, SHRM-SCP

As a distinguished HR professional, acclaimed keynote speaker, and influential podcast host, I'm on a mission to revolutionize HR practices and cultivate work environments that are inclusive and captivating. My path reflects a belief in leveraging challenges as springboards for growth and innovation.

I stand at the forefront of human resources with over 20 years of extensive experience and advanced academic achievements, including an MBA, MHRM, a Certificate in E-commerce Management, and a SHRM-SCP certification. Currently, I am broadening my expertise by pursuing a doctoral degree in leadership and innovation.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a proud mother of three sons—one a veteran and two currently serving in the U.S. Navy—and I enjoy being a dog mom and an avid reader. My 25-year marriage to a fire department Chief adds depth to my understanding of service and dedication.

I am currently the Senior Manager of Thought Leadership at Paylocity, Host of the HR Mixtape and the Founder & CEO of HR Swagger, LLC.
